Wim Helsen: Het helste van Helsen
Overview
Wim Helsen is always witty, surprising, and pertinent: whether he is expressing his indignation as a good-natured soup distributor in 'Heden Soup!', preaching passion as a cunning demagogue in 'Bij mij zijt ge veilig', or championing better poetry as the Best Friend of Poetry in 'Man Bijt Hond'. Helsen mixes the best of cabaret, theater monologue, and poetry into a disarming individuality, bringing innovation and wonder to the stage.
